I am sorry, but this article is a bag of lies. It is just buying and broadcasting the official story from human rights violator Justice Alexandre de Morais, who is persecuting opposition and making up trials as Moscow did in the great purges.

Wow, this is so awesome! A shame it didn’t progress.

There is a big gap between "Turing complete"-able and "real-time, interactive, graphical and performant"-thing.

That is really interesting, in that it is the opposite of my childhood understanding. I started with CP/M and DOS, and the first time I came to a Linux machine, I just couldn't understand how someone could work with drives without the letters (dedicated namespaces, right). My thought was that it was a less polished design.

When I started using a Mac in 2009, MacPorts, Fink (and I think there was another I can't recall the name) simply wouldn't work for me. They would take very long to build what I wanted, there weren't nearly as many packages as was in Debian/Ubuntu, and many were old versions. Worse, many build attempts would just fail.

In that scenario, brew worked like a charm. It was quick, had most or even more packages than Debian/Ubuntu and they were newer. Failure to install was rare.

Then, Apple started yearly release of OS X, and that both broke brew and my system hard, so I started investigating and found out about the many "shortcuts" that brew took and how it violated systems components. I was dismayed, and abandoned brew for good.

So, I stood a period where I would use many of my tools inside a Ubuntu VM, until probably 2013-2014, when for some reason I tried again MacPorts, and I don't know why, but that time it was much more reliable, and because of Apple's insane atm SSDs with 2 GB/s bandwidth, install became quick enough. Packages were still somewhat lagging behind in available versions, but the variety of them kinda reached the levels of what was in Debian/Ubuntu, so it was good enough for me.

Then, the killer feature, I found out about macports variants and selectors, which I find the most awesome thing to this date in package managers (I haven't tried nix, still, it might be magnitude better in that regard). No needing to use rvm, pyenv, custom installs of gcc messing with make/autotools, and the only sane way of compiling various Haskell projects (before haskell-stack).

Truth is much simpler. The rain volume was unanticipated, no matter what government was there, the catastrophe would still happen.

As you wrote, the left governed there for decades, and no adequate containment for this event was built, nor it was built by the following center-left following governments. There was never a right or far-right government there since the 70s. Unless you are referring to Bolsonaro, but then it would be weird since he’s already superseded by the worker’s party by a year and a half now.

I completed the CompSci X-Series of MITx on edX, and Software Engineering for IaaS, from BerkeleyX. They were so awesome that I can only think they phased them out because it was such a bargain. Practically, the courses allowed me to change career and to be well positioned.

It is as old as MMORPGs, at least. In 2001 you couldn't play Ultima Online like you did in 1998.

I once worked in a lab where all computers had its own electrical stabilizer, but they were so poor that probably they did more harm than good. When someone turned on a stabilizer, the nearest CRT monitors would distort for a second, then flicker and colors would be degraded.

Luckily, my place was by the wall, so the effect was diminished, but it gave me big headaches. I lasted only 6 months in that company this being the biggest reason.

It’s totally a systemic problem, that’s it. Same thing with me. I love teaching, I just can’t stand the faculty anymore.

Yes, and it is not bad, but nowhere as smooth as the macOS app.

I love Numbers and haven’t been able to find an easy and convenient replacement for it since I left macOS :(

It’s blended spreadsheeting with presentation in a free infinite canvas is the best notebook app I’ve met.

I do the same with my parents in law, and it’s been like 8 years without call for maintenance, if not for the very rare Ubuntu upgrade.

Seems like the same as in multithreaded programming, in which you can’t let threads share memory without synchronizing else you get data races and corruption.

The best term to describe this kind of generators is procedural content generation, or just PCG.

I hope they can avoid having two block indents, like in those examples. Match could be followed by a case in the same line, and extra cases in new lines.

  match val case True:
      print("Ok")
  case False:
      print("Not ok")
  
  print("Done")
